Prototype information

Tariff conditions on the one hand and technical conditions on the other led to all state railway administrations developing covered freight wagons with almost the same dimensions and load weights. These were wagons with a 4.5 m wheelbase, a length over buffers of 9.3 m for unbraked wagons, a load weight of 15 t, later 17.5 t and a floor area of around 21 square meters. This type of freight wagon became the most important and most frequently built covered freight wagon of all; they originally bore the type designation Gm. The most common of these state railway wagons was the one based on the Prussian model sheet IId8, of which 47,533 alone were built. After the German State Railway Wagon Association DWV was founded in 1909, the association wagon type A2 was developed from this. This was built from 1911 in a total of an incredible 121,770 units. This made it the most frequently built covered freight car in the world. It dominated the image of German freight trains until the early third era. During two world wars these wagons were scattered all over Europe; there was no European railway administration that did not use such wagons at least temporarily.
